The Silent Enigma

Description

The Silent Enigma, the second studio album by Anathema, was released in the summer of 1995 and was the first album on which guitarist Vincent Cavanagh took over the vocal duties from the late Darren White. While Darren's singing was guttural, Vincent's style pushed Anathema's possibilities upward, with a range and depth that surpasses his age, complementing an ethereal roller-coaster of reflective atmospheres and crushing riffs reminiscent of Celtic Frost — the Swiss legends being a notable inspiration. The result is a beautiful example of highly atmospheric and often emotional gothic doom, giving rise to classic Anathema songs such as "Restless Oblivion," "Sunset of Age," "The Silent Enigma," and "A Dying Wish." Acclaimed by the metal press and fans as a classic of doom metal, the album has remained a favorite in the metal scene.
